If you find that you're generally reading articles on a single device (e.g. your phone), consider a local RSS reader app that doesn't require a server elsewhere. I've been using read you for this (also interested in trying out feeder ), and its a great, simple, elegant solution. The occasion where I'd like to see the feed on my computer is definitely outweighed by not having to manage self-hosting or pay for an online solution.

highly recommend chrono symphonic as an interpretation of the incredible original.

My favorite was always Frog's theme, alternating between the triumphant knightly and the devastatingly tragic (which perfectly fit the character). Ah, what a perfect game with a soundtrack to match!

Just in case you haven't seen it already, check out Terra Nil! It's such a chill game, the perfect answer to "The world is difficult and I am tired"

You're me! Though I'm closely following the progress of the R and Jupyter extensions for vscode. They're not an RStudio replacement yet, but I think soon R will be comparable to python in vscode, and I'd love to consolidate.

This reminds me of https://slrpnk.net/post/280323, about doing similar things with old Chromebooks. I definitely think there should be a movement toward using random older devices for hobbyist projects. I mean, there's nothing actually special about the RPi, just that it's small and enough people use it that they can pre-prepare software for that specific hardware. But it should only be a little more work to make just about any computer do the things that people use the pi for. I think the possibility of a bigger movement is there!

Regarding the battery overheating, correct me if I'm wrong but I thought generally the electronics would keep that from happening. Of course, keeping it always on charge would probably degrade the battery life of the device, but once a phone is on server duty that's not so much of a concern anyway.
